Chapter 731: Building an AI Research Center

Xishan Meishuguan.

Outside the window, night had fallen, the northwest wind controlled by the Siberian high-pressure system was blowing with a howl, and a layer of beautiful ice flowers had formed on the glass.

Inside the house, two young people were curled up on the sofa, enjoying the peace after a busy day.

Xu Qingzhou squeezed her tender little feet and said: "Also, I plan to cooperate with Michael Levitt to set up an AI research center."

"Is that the old professor we met last time?"

Song Yao had finished reading the experimental report and the subsequent plan on the tablet, and mentally muttered "truly perverted."

"Yes, I chatted with him quite a bit these past few days and mentioned the idea of forming a research center. He is very supportive."

Xu Qingzhou leaned back on the sofa, looking at the ceiling to relax his thoughts.

Michael Levitt, with over 60 years of programming experience, was one of the few cross-disciplinary authorities spanning computational science, biology, and chemistry, especially skilled in cross-scale modeling, capable of fusing physics, chemistry, and AI methods.

In terms of computers and AI, there really weren't many people who could compare to this big shot.

"For example, the quantum sensing magnetic field monitoring system still involves AI predictive parameter adjustment at the end, predicting the configuration changes in the next 100ms and triggering adjustment instructions in advance. The current prediction data still doesn't meet my requirements."

Since they were going to do it, they had to do it the best.

"What are your thoughts?"

Song Yao nodded, very supportive of Xu Qingzhou's work, and deeply aware of the importance of AI. Many people said that AI would be the third productivity revolution after the steam engine and electricity.

Whether humanity could harness this power would determine if it could enter a new era of digital civilization with "a balance between efficiency and humanity."

She actually quite agreed; AI could exponentially improve humanity's ability to solve problems, and with the improvement of technology, it might really change humanity's lifestyle like smartphones.

"Cooperate with the Fudan Complex Systems Multi-scale Research Institute, and connect to Stanford's computing resources or the Perlmutter supercomputer."

Xu Qingzhou's hand slid over her fair calf, and at the same time, the girl's leg moved subconsciously twice.

He adjusted his sitting posture to avoid being affected.

The research institute now had a specialized computer group, but it still had disadvantages in AI.

And this thing was quite important; simply put, this was a battleground for all strategists.

It was a pity that the United States dominated the world's basic AI algorithms, such as the Transformer architecture, or chip design, such as GPU architecture, or system software, such as the TensorFlow framework.

And they also monopolized high-end chips.

Xia Nation had fewer original achievements in basic theories such as deep learning frameworks and algorithm innovation, focusing more on application-layer optimization and mainly relying on US open-source technology for improvements.

"Although there have been some improvements over the years, the gap cannot be narrowed in a short time."

Technology is something that develops progressively and spirally. Except for someone like him who is a cheater and suddenly comes to do something big, basically, everything has to be broken through slowly.

That is, the problem of quantitative change and qualitative change.

For example, they formed an equipment research center with the Jingda Materials Academy and the Physics Academy, and have now invested 100 million yuan, but there is still no output in sight.

When he met Levitt at the banquet, Xu Qingzhou had this idea, and immediately sent an email to the old gentleman. The two hit it off and decided to start.

"I have no problem with that."

"Alright, I'll have Old Ji select some people in the next few days."

Levitt advocated for small teams, especially valuing young experts. In this regard, the research institute had a great advantage, as most of them were young people.

Song Yao shifted her butt, lying entirely on Xu Qingzhou, closing her eyes to recharge, "International cooperation involves data security and sensitive technology isolation, and also needs to bypass international controls through non-military paths. I will let Xue Zhishang and the others pay attention to this." ===== CHAPTER 732 =====
